Josef Albers: Homage to the Square. Renewed |
June 29. 2008.
Representing the Ambassador, Consul General Matt Boyse spoke at the opening of an event marking the 25th anniversary of the Museum Quadrat in Bottrop, which is dedicated to Bauhaus master Josef Albers who emigrated to the United States in 1933. Echoing remarks given by then Vice President George H.W. Bush at the opening of the museum in 1983, the Consul General noted that Josef Albers’ work as an artist and educator illustrated the shared cultural and political values between both countries. The ceremony also served as the opening of a special exhibit that shows works by American sculptor Donald Judd.
